Spartan Living – Spending the majority of her teenage years as a part of The Congregation of Light meant learning to live simply and without dependence upon the “evils” of modern times like electricity or grocery stores. This has given her a wealth of skills few modern women have… she is able to cook over an open fire or on an old stove, she can sew and mend clothing, she’s good with home remedies, etc

Strong Willed – Believe it or not, not every member of a group such as the one Abigail belonged to is a complete doormat in every situation. Her zealous belief in the teachings of The Prophet has instilled in her a drive to fulfill whatever duty she believes she must. Though she is still quite subservient, especially to men, she is determined and driven in ways few would expect.

Serene – Even (or perhaps especially) in the face of all this chaos, Abigail is a deeply peaceful person, believing everything happens for a reason and thus that getting too upset over things one cannot change is pointless.

Faithful – Be it in her bible or the goodness of the people around her, Abigail has a wealth of faith few people can truly understand.

Trusting – Going hand-in-hand with her faith, trusting in people and God is something ingrained in her.

Weaknesses :

Trusting – As much a weakness as it is a strength, Abigail is unfailingly trusting in those around her.

Forgiving – Rarely one to hold someone’s past transgressions against them, Abigail believes in forgiveness, as she thinks that holding a grudge against one for their short comings is tantamount to judging them, and that is something only God can do.

Zealous – Abigail believes deeply in her faith and that the end times have come. This tends to bother people and causes many to believe she’s crazy. She doesn’t blame them if they do, but they can think whatever they want… she’s not going to stop trying to spread God’s Word.

Subservient – One of the primary teachings of The Prophet was that women should be subservient to men in all things, and this is a lesson Abigail continues to take to heart, even in these dark times.

Largely Pacifistic – Though this is something that she has struggled with, Abigail believes largely in pacifism, that it is not a woman’s place to engage in violent tasks or behaviors. She has been forced to break her own rule more than once, something she is deeply conflicted over.

Special Gear :

Bible – Specially printed for The Congregation of Light, Abigail’s second most prized possession is her Bible.

Crucifix – Worn on a thin silk cord around her neck, Abigail’s most prized possession is her crucifix, as it is all she has left of her mother.

Shovel – Taken from a random farm she passed through, it’s still in good shape thanks to the handle being metal and not wood.

Revolver – Taken from the body of her father after he fell when the compound was overrun. It broke her heart to “steal” from the dead, but she needed it more than he did. She uses the gun as little as possible, half because it’s loud and frightens her, and half because the recoil is not kind to her and her aim is poor.

Boxes of ammunition (95 rounds) – Also taken from her father, though this time from their small ram-shackle house just before fleeing the compound. She uses the gun as little as possible, hence why there are still so many rounds left over.

Height : 5’2”Weight / Body type : Slender limbs with wide hips and plump but not overly large breastsHair : Rich auburn red, long, somewhat wavySkin : FairEyes : Light grey-blueDistinguishing Features : Though she is clearly a stunning young woman and no one can really afford to turn their nose up at a new set of clothes, Abigail refuses to wear anything but modest clothing, preferring long sleeves and pants (she has seen the folly in attempting to stick to skirts and dresses).

Personality : Quiet and unassuming, Abigail's reserved personality is due largely in part to the teachings of her faith. Obedient and subservient, devoted and honest... Abby has been raised to be the ideal wife and future mother, and was, in fact, only weeks away from her wedding when hell literally broke loose across the world. The months since the fall of the compound she called home for the better part of her life have been exceptionally difficult for Abby, as she's been forced to be around those with whom she has inherent disagreements on very basic (but to her very important) topics, she's been in positions where violence was the only option she had... she's been exposed to thieves, murderers, and even narrowly avoided rapists at one point. It's been hard on her fragile mental state, but she's made due.

Likes : Bible study, songs of faith, quiet, admiring God’s creation, getting to know others, caring for/taking care of others, cooking, feeling as if she “belongs”, having a strong man to look toDislikes : Being alone, those who blaspheme, violence, loud noises, those who do not understand their “place” (be it women thinking they are above men or men thinking they are below women), disrespect for one’s eldersFears : Sinning against God so much she cannot be forgiven, small, cramped, dark spaces.

History : Born to parents who worried about the "evils of the world", Abigail was only eight when her parents sold all of their worldly possessions and gave their money over to their new "church" before taking their young, impressionable daughter off the grid. Adjustment had been rough at first, as Abby had been just old enough to have gotten used to the comforts of modern times, only to have them (and her entire life) stripped away from her, but her outbursts were dealt with in the harshest of manners... At first she was spanked, paddled, even beaten with her father's belt at times, but when the pain failed to fully "cleanse her of sin" as it was meant to, they were instructed to resort to more psychological methods.

The first time these methods were used, Abby was forced in to a small clothes trunk and the lid was shut. Locked inside for hours, the girl screamed herself hoarse. This happened five more times, each time getting longer and longer until she was finally left inside for almost four days, only allowed out long enough to relieve herself before she was shoved right back in. During her time in the chest, one of the church elders would come and read her scripture detailing the disciplining of children and all the ways a child could transgress against their parents... and there were many!

By the time that four day stint was over, Abby was a quiet, subservient, terrified mess. Slowly, she grew out of the worst of the fear but she still does not cope well with small, dark spaces, often feeling claustrophobic at the mere sight of them, and resulting in panic attacks if she is ever forced in to one. Over the years, Abby grew in to an ideal woman... she was beautiful. She was behaved. She was looking forward to marrying and bearing children... she lived to please those around her.

But when the dead began to rise, her wedding, which was only weeks away, was abruptly postponed and Abby spent her days in fear. The men carried guns, the women weren't allowed near the perimeter of their land which meant that she could not see her husband to be. As it turned out, when the infection reached their gates, her fiance was one of the first to fall defending his home. It only took a matter of hours for the gates to be brought down... the fences weren't meant to withstand the onslaught of living and dead alike trying to breach their safety. It was chaos, and, in the midst of all of it, Abby was forced to make several difficult decisions. When she saw her loved ones fall, she gathered what she could and she fled with a handful of other survivors.

Over the months, they've been split up for one reason or another and now Abby is alone save a few companions, none of which were part of the compound to begin with.

Athlete - Terrence Lawrence is without a doubt one of the most athletic people in the world. At his height and weight , an imposing Six Foot Eight Inches and Two Hundred Thirty Pounds , he is as nimble and fleet footed as a lightweight. Beyond his agility , his cardio is astonishing. His ability to shuffle and sidestep even when gasping for air is a sight to behold. His strength is brutal and overpowering. He's capable of generating devastating power from both hands in close spaces. He's known for being able to crush an apple with his bare hands.

Determination - They call him 1-Train because he's a train. Once he starts going , he doesn't stop. The only way to beat him is to avoid him. His ability to ignore vicious rights and keep backing his opponents up his earned him a sizable fanbase. Even without his million dollar athleticism Williams would still be a threat in the ring due to his heart and grit. He's a grinder. He enjoys the punishment , the thrill of the fight. A true "It's not hard you hit , It's how hard you can get hit and keep going" kind of Person.

Weaknesses :

Rugged Demeanor : 1-Train's ego is rather small for a man of his talent. Instead he's more of a destroyer of world's type person. He won't brag about being the greatest of all time or spot off a list of accomplishment. Instead He'll calmly describe to you the way he plans to dismantle you. He'll tell you in painstaking detail every bone he intends to break. It was never about winning for 1-Train. It was about breaking people. Hurting them physically and mentally. He wanted to crush them. That was how he proved his dominance. Who cares if you won if you couldn't walk out of the arena afterwards? Nobody. Crushing people. That was the goal. That was it.

Anti-Social: Terrance hates large groups and he hates small talk. Most people simply bore him and he lets it be known to them. He rarely smiles and finds that most people are overactive emotional creatures that think with their hearts more often then their brains.

Personality : Cold , Calculated and Driven. Terrence Lawrence is a cunning , soft spoken giant with a cold heart. These traits have helped him become one of the most dominant athletes of his era yet have alienated some of his friends and family. Opponents have called him boring and uncharacteristic but time and time again he has defeated them with his cerebral game planning and unmatched drive. He always gives one hundred percent , No matter how unlikely his cause might be. He's Loyal as well. If he trusst you or respects you or even admires you , he will be one of the nicest and friendliest people you may meet but those thatare uninteresting to him are treated with slight disdain.

History : Born to Kareem And Aretha Lawrence , Terrence's father was a High School Basketball Coach. For most of his childhood , Terrence and his father were inseparable. Terrence idolized his father and loved to hear his stories about his time playing Basketball in High School and College. Kareem Lawrence was an McDonald's All-American Center in High School and played Four years at Maryland. Unfortunately he was never considered good enough to be drafted in the NBA and instead graduate from Maryland with a degree in Physical Education. Having dealt with the failure of an athletic career Kareem Lawrence originally did not want his soon to pursue sports. Despite this , Kareem Lawrence was unable to stifle his son Terrence's Hoop Dreams. Terrence Lawrence began playing Organized Basketball in middle school and quickly showed immense Athletic Talent. By his senior year in high school , Terrence Lawrence was perhaps one of the best Basketball Players in the state of New York. He led his fathers team to two state championship and like his father was a McDonald's All American. After entertaining thoughts from Duke , Syracuse and Michigan State Terrence choose to follow in his father's footsteps and attend Maryland. While there he majored in political science. Unfortunately a serious of Knees injuries left Terrence unable to follow his dream of playing in the NBA. While Rehabbing from one of these injuries however , he found a new sport in boxing.

Terrence Lawrence was a natural at boxing. His massive size , impressive stamina and laser guided focus quickly took him from an amateur to potential world champion. Undefeated in his first twenty one fights , Lawrence would eventually lose a twelve round bloodbath to Dante Alonzo. The fight was voted 2012 Fight Of The Year and thrust Lawrence into national spotlight. A year latter he would avenge his lost to Dante Alonzo with a third round knockout in front of Twenty Thousand Fans at The Staples Center in Los Angles. Two more quick knockouts latter and he was named number one contender for the world heavyweight championship.

The World Heavyweight Championship fight proved to be a cake walk with Lawrence putting in one of the most dominant performances in the history of boxing. While the fight lasted all twelve rounds , Lawrence won each round unanimously. Terrence Lawrence had etched name along some of boxing's most elite.

Of course will never know just how great Terrence Lawrence truly could of been. While returning home from his third successful title defense , Lawrence arrived at a completely deserted airport. The airport was in ruin , looking like a bomb had gone off. Lawrence searched around for anyone to explain to him what had happened. It was then that he came upon his first walker. The World Heavyweight Champion quickly dispatched the beast with his bare hands and made the fourteen mile trek back to his house. It was slow going. The roads were cluttered with abandoned cars and shuffling corpses. While mildly disturbed , Lawrence focused on his travel and made it home with few altercations. Since then he's been held up in his home making occasional trips into the city for supplies.

Yet to find any other survivors , Terrence Lawrence wonders if he's the last man on earth.

Mediator - Gideon is very level headed and prefers to keep the peace. Even if it's not advantageous to himself he'll work to find a compromise so that whatever needs doin' can get done.

Good with his hands - He can't claim to be a mechanic or engineer but he can usually tinker with most things. He can also build structures and makeshift tools.

A strong back - He's good muscle to have around. He'll work long and hard without complaint.

Protective instincts - He's sharp, attentive, and won't hesitate to do what needs doing, especially if it means sparing others.

Weaknesses :

Desperately wants to remain a good guy at heart - which means that sometimes the tough choices weigh heavily on him.

Has never shot a gun

Needs to feel needed/useful - Gideon cannot stand feeling useless, worthless, or helpless. So long as he can contribute in some way he is fine, but the moment he begins to feel obsolete in any fashion he becomes antsy and anxious and his whole outlook and demeanor shifts.

Personality : Gideon is a quiet man who believes actions speak louder than words. He comes across as something of the big dumb jock type, seemingly best with a hammer and nails or a wrench, strumming a tune on his guitar, or banging out a beat on his drums until you sit down and actually have a conversation with him and find out that the man is exceptionally well read and educated. He believes strongly in family, duty, and honor above all else and is the sort of man who would never ask of another what he is not willing to do himself.

He does have a relaxed side though, one capable of humor, warmth, and compassion, even some charm and goofiness under the right circumstances. Unfortunately since the dead started springing back up and attacking people he hasn't found much of a reason to to put his pretty dimples to use. Content to let others think of him what they will he moves about in comfortable silence. He's the sort that hates sitting still for too long and prefers to use his idle time working--whether that's on old homes in need of restoration, building new ones, making furniture, or simply carving a figurine it doesn't matter--but these days it seems he's got far too much time and too little to invest it in.

Likes : Working with his hands, whittling and carving, women, playing guitar, drumming, swimming, sports, physical activity, reading, meat, rainDislikes : Idiots, violent people (beyond simply killing zombies or protecting themselves), beets (actually most vegetables outside your basic corn, carrots, and green beans), those who like the sound of their own voice too muchFears : Running into his brothers as zombies, fathering a child (both before or after the apocalypse), becoming a zombie and killing someone, that he won't find his best friend.

History : Gideon was the black sheep of his family. Coming from a wealthy background he had a path laid out for him even before he was born, as did his older and younger brothers. Of course right away it became clear he had no interest in playing dress up and living the charmed life. He was not content to follow in his father's footsteps or learn the ways of deal making and though he can be as charming as anyone in his family when he wants to he never quite developed the sort of attitude that allowed his younger brother to get away with being the lovable 'scoundrel' of the bunch. Instead Gideon was often ignored by his own family when they weren't attempting to pick him apart but regardless of how they treated him, he kept his silence and forged his own path. He got along fine with the help of his music, his work ethic, and his oldest and closest friend.

Turning down Ivy league schools who would have loved to take him and hand him a degree simply for the chance to build a relationship with his family that could lead to donations, Gideon moved out of the house and into a two bedroom place with his best friend, enrolled in trade school, and got himself a job working in construction. From there he absorbed everything he could and centered himself around the things he could build with his own two hands. Still, even with the emotional distance that existed between him and his family he was right there every time they needed him. When his youngest brother got arrested in Mexico one summer, Gideon dropped everything to go down and get him out. When his eldest brother needed a hand running a community service event to look good for the media and his project manager quit, Gideon stepped up. And when his father passed away and his other brothers were too busy to stay with their distraught mother, it was he who went back home to stay.

Eventually Gideon got himself into a bit of renovation and restoration work on the side. Construction jobs paid okay but it certainly wasn't up to the standards of his relatives. His skill with more delicate and precise work wasn't easily recognized on sites where he was just another strong back, but in the independent jobs he got his chance to shine and found a niche that really called to him and eventually he shifted his focus to becoming an independent contractor. Unfortunately those plans fell by the way side the day he encountered his first zombie: his mother.

The day that everything changed, the day that all his plans for the future became meaningless, Gideon had stopped by to check on his then alcoholic mother, and was distracted by the mess he assumed she'd left behind in the wake of one of her tantrums. Sighing to himself, he said nothing figuring that the woman had passed out, and set about cleaning up the mess. What he didn't know was that his mother had seen the news and in her drunken state had panicked and taken far too many pills. The cocktail of medications caused her to vomit of course but having passed out already she ultimately choked on her own vomit and died. It wasn't until he went to her room to check on her and she lunged for him, mouth agape, that he realized things had gone horribly wrong.

Gideon easily outweighed his mother so even as a frenzied corpse it wasn't too difficult to shove her back from him and shut the bedroom door. Not really understanding what was going on, he had no desire to try and put her down so instead he left her there and headed back to his place. Only it seemed chaos had broken out everywhere. There streets were filled with panicked people and traffic was a nightmare. After an hour of going almost nowhere, he pulled over and parked his truck. Hopping out he hoofed it to his place to see if his roommate was there but it seemed she hadn't gotten home and her cell was rolling straight to voicemail. Genuinely worried, Gideon tried to reach his brothers but only his younger brother picked up and that call ended abruptly with a shout. He tried again to reach him but couldn't get through. He ended up trying to see if he could find his best friend at her job but the chaos there was just as thick and ultimately he was herded into a shelter with a large group of people when the National Guard swept through to try and restore order.

Gideon stayed for all of a week before things eventually deteriorated to the point that it was safer outside than in. He and a small group forced their way out onto the streets with very limited supplies and makeshift weapons and looked for a defensible place they could establish as their own, however, the city was just too over run and the group was forced to look for less populated areas. Over the the next few months the group would gradually be picked off, one by one. Zombies, other groups, and at the end each other... eventually the fear just got to them all and they made stupid decisions. Gideon survived by his own wits and tried his best to keep those with him alive, but somehow the remainder of his group has turned out to be a few people who weren't even a part of the original group. It saddens him to realize that he's lost so many but he's not ready to die so he keeps his head up, his eyes open, and keeps moving, taking things one day at a time.

The role of Gideon's best friend is open (hopefully played by Ashley Greene because that's what my muse would like )

At this point Gideon hasn't seen his best friend since before everything changed but the hope is that they'd eventually reunite somewhere down the line. Basically, the two have been friends for like ever but nothing sexual has ever happened between them, or they could have tried to date as teens and realized that didn't work so well. And actually they never need to go down that path (so I don't mind if you plot to have her end up with someone else or she's a lesbian or whatever). I like the idea of them remaining more like brother and sister but seeing what, 6 months of hell (or more by the time they actually meet) apart might have done to their relationship. Of course I am open to other ideas involving them and plotting but the important thing to remember is that I don't intend for them to meet up right away.

So everyone is making such beautiful characters, I finally managed to make my second one. He's totally open for a partner, whether it be a family member or a friend! Just let me know if you want to work something up!

Cooking - Before the outbreak, Woo was a rising star in the culinary industry. He was the second youngest chef to be awarded a Michelin star for his exotic Asian mixes.

Good with his hands - His profession requires accuracy and steady hands, as well as handling things with care.

Knife Skills - A Mandatory trait for a chef, Woo is very skilled with any type of kitchen knife. Quick chopping and fluid movements of the knife are his specialties.

Martial Arts- His second passion is Kendo, which branched off into fencing when he moved to the U.S.A. He participated in a few tournaments, but martial arts always took a back seat to cooking.

Weaknesses :

Too Trusting - By nature, Woo is a kind hearted man and always looks for the best in others. This has already caused him to be betrayed more than once since the outbreak.

Not the best shooter - While he can wield a gun and shoot, his accuracy is lacking. It was never something he took an interest in, but he's not completely oblivious.

Recognizable - Due to several T.V appearances and magazine features, Woo is a recognizable B-List celebrity. This causes people to often misjudge him or simply try and steal from him, thinking he has valuables.

Personality : Woo is a very friendly man, and in contrast to most South Korean people who travel to the U.S, he is very social and outgoing. He finds himself very drawn to other people, and hates to be alone. He finds bliss in company, and truly possesses a kind heart. He wants no ill will for anyone, and this can be trying in times where people are cruel, and must be to survive. He prides himself on his kindness, however, and will go out of his way to help someone despite personal dangers. He's a people pleaser, and loves to make everyone around him happy. This inspired his career of choice before the outbreak, and has made him a recent celebrity in the American culinary world.

He tends to be a little shy, yet once he is used to the spotlight he quickly gets acustomed to it. If he is recognized on the street from his T.V apperances, he doesn't hesitate to give out autographs or take pictures as opposed to other entitled celebrities. There isn't much that can get him truly angry, as he is very down to earth. However, in the rare occasions that he does get mad, the likely cause would be someone he cared about getting insulted or put into harms way. He tends to be very selfless at times, and it costs him. A very determined man, he's somewhat of a perfectionist. He likes to complete everything fully, and leaving nothing to chance.

Likes : Working with his hands, Food & Cooking in General, Smiling, Protecting People, A woman with a beautiful heart (With an appearance to match!) Dislikes : Aggressive and Cruel people, Zombies (Duh), Pain, Loss, Having nothing to cook, People misusing or stealing his cooking tools. Fears : Seeing people around him die. Making connections only to be betrayed. Betrayal in general. Sexism.

History :

Woo-jin was born in Seoul, South Korea, to an Engineer Father and a modest Housewife for a Mother. Life was good, and for the most part stable. They lived comfortably, until a job opportunity for his father was received form a prestigious U.S company that would elevate their life further. Woo was six when his parents decided to move to Los Angeles, and he left his life behind to his father could pursue his career further. His childhood was fairly average. His lack of English knowledge made it awkward with the other kids his age at first, but his home life was very comfortable. He always had what he needed, always up to date with the latest toys and playthings kids owned. As his English improved, so did his social life, and people began to recognize his kind hearted spirit and willingness to help.

As he hit his teenage years, the natural rebellious streak began to manifest itself. His father was a smart man, however, and sought to direct all the excess energy outwards into something productive. That is when Woo first began learning Kendo, and his natural body-build manifested into a fair talent for the sport. His mother, trying to do her part, one day asked him to help her cook supper. It was pure coincidence, and completely unwarranted, yet Woo found himself falling inlove with the most unlikely of hobbies. That day sparked it all, and since then he couldn't step away from the kitchen. ESPN turned into the Food Network, and comic books turned into cook books. Woo had found his passion, and he was going to pursue it.

Despite some protests from his father, who wished he'd try to be an Engineer like himself, Woo enrolled in Culinary School and quickly became a rising star. His talent was obvious, and his accuracy and imagination when it came to food and plating were top-notch. He graduated with honors, and a school Alumni instantly offered him the management of one of his Hollywood restaurants upon recognizing his talents. Woo graciously accepted, and worked there for a few years until he made enough money to branch out on his own. Using the money, Woo bought an old and run-down restaurant in a central Hollywood Plaza and reworked it completely, changing it into a modern Asian cuisine restaurant. He named it the "Dai Ichi" after his mother, and he quickly gained fame.

His proudest moment, was when his restaurant was awarded a Michelin Star, the highest honors a restaurant could get. It was then that he started becoming famous, getting requests to cook for several actors and musicians. Television appearances became a regular occurrences, and he even had to hire an agent to manage his schedule. He enjoyed the game, yet his true passion was still in the back of his restaurant, cooking with his sous chefs. At the height of his fame, is when the Outbreak started, and Woo has been trying to survive ever since.

Former Occupation/Position :Asylum PatientStrengths :Genius: He possesses a high sense of creativity and is always thinking outside the box. As a result, his potential in becoming familiar and adjusting to something is often better than most.Tinker:Diversal:Adaptable:Dirty Fighting:Weaknesses :Insanity: His box is never really intact. Common ground is hard for him to stay on, his conversations are often way out of the ballpark as some can relate to them and his general actions as well. Then again, some claim madness and genius are two sides of a single coin, he perfectly exhibits both traits; but perhaps he is really just crazy.Medication:Stamina:Strength:Murderous:Special Gear :

Former Occupation/Position : Park RangerStrengths :Cunning: Not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's very observant and quick to think on his feet to find ways out of a sticky situation.Patient: Like the good hunter he is, KC is calm and patient. Something that's served him well in the last six months.Survivalist: He's a survivor through and through. Trained to live off the land, set traps and find shelter.Animal Empathy: Animals have always loved KC. Even the meanest or wildest can more often then not be tamed by him. At-least temporarily.

Weaknesses :Loner: After the death of Bones, he's been wary of getting close to anyone. Even another dog.Law Abiding: Even though the world's gone to shit, the LEO in him can't seem to shrug it all off. Sometimes, this makes life hard for him.Insomnia: It's often very hard for him to fall asleep. This has left him worn and ragged on more then one occasion.Judgmental: He really tries not to be. But sometimes he's too quick to judge someone.

Personality : Kc's a bit rough around the edges at first. He's use to spending most of his time alone with just a few other people in the wilder parts of The US. Though once you get to know him, the abrsiveness fades quick. He's tough, down to earth, if sarcastic at times. But he's got loyalty in spades once it's been earned. He's been called cheeky by some, an asshole by others; but mostly he's been described as a stand up guy.

Likes :AnimalsThe outdoors (Until Recently)A cold Beer on occasionThe company of close friends (Which he has none left as of now. Subject to Change if I connect him with someone.)

History :Kc grew up in the sticks for most of his life. A good 'ole country boy, he was raised on his parents farm where he worked from the age of 6-17. On his seventeenth year he joined up with something of a JROTC program set forth by local law enforcement. He performed admirably as would be expected, and when he graduated high-school they paid for his schooling to join as a Park Ranger. That's when his life really started to take off, and he was admitted into one of the larger parks at a young age. At first he was viewed as an outsider by his colleagues, whom were all like family. But that too changed nearing the first six months of his time there.

It was a rainy night on his shift when he caught wind of some poachers by word of a local group of campers. It was routine to arrest or chase them out when it wasn't hunting season, but he couldn't believe his eyes when he came upon the sight. Not only had they already skinned and cleaned most of the game they'd caught, but it seems their hunter's instinct had pulled them toward human prey. They had some of the campers that reported them, skinning the men for attempting to stop their poaching. While raping the women seemingly just for their enjoyment. He radioed in for backup, but that's when the mother bear showed up who's cubs the poaches had killed.

Kc was the first struck by her. Claws to his right side just as the radio message was spoke, and he went tumbling down the hill from his vantage point. Everything went to shit from there. He barely remembers what happened by the time backup came, but the hunters had killed the bear and were leaving while he was surrounded by a few of their dead bodies with a couple bullets in himself. Despite the injuries, he identified their jeep; and the bastards were caught. The scene still flashes in and out about what they were doing to those people. But all in all it secured his place as one of the family. From there his career only seemed to excel further.

Kc was actually on the job when everything went to hell. A large camping group near the Ranger's station came down with the disease. They were treating several for the fever when the others came at them. They thought they were safe inside the well defended spot until those with the fever died. Then they had them inside as well. Bones, his dog, and Kc were the only survivors. They ran as fast as they could for help after that. Dragging on, he eventually realized it was like this everywhere. He wasn't sure who to trust, and that decision lead to a point where he and Bone's had to make a split second choice for their life. Bone's saved Kc, but in the doing the dog almost killed himself. Kc didn't have the supplies to save the mutt then....

So he did what he had to do. He put the beast down, and kept going. Alone ever since, he longs for some sort of companionship with someone. But time and again that sting comes back and reminds him of just how bad loss can be....Sexuality : HeterosexualSexual On's and Offs : Offs? Just no bodily functions, or Vore and I think we'll be good.
